Writing notes so that I can recall how it felt at this point in my eating plan change. I just completed one month on Intermittent Fasting, five days a week I eat 1850-2000 calories (daily resting caloric expenditure for my height) and Monday and Friday I fast for 24 hours.
WEIGHT BEGAN = 222.8
WEIGHT 1 MONTH =210.4
LOST = 12.4 LBS. & 1/2 a size down in clothing
EXERCISE = Heavy vegetable garden yard work 1 to 1.5 hours 3-4 times per week @ 400 calories per hour. Lifting, shoveling, compost pile turning, (all similar to lifting reps) it's a full body work out.
100% COMPLIANCE during the month - no temptation at all.
OBSERVATIONS:
1. My best fast times are from 11 am to 11 am the next day. Very little feeling of hunger. I tried a couple different time periods and this is the easiest.
2. Worst fast day was from 9:30 pm to 7:30 pm It wasn't a planned fast and I was hungry and thinking about food all day.
3. By the end of the month I was working on 16/8 eating window. 16 hours fasting every day, eating in an 8 hour window each day.
4. I spent significant time each day reading or watching videos to learn more about the science behind Intermittent Fasting and the control of type 2 diabetes. I do not have Diabetes or pre-diabetes but it runs in my family so I want to pay attention. I do have carb resistance and likely insulin resistance.
5. The weight has simply melted off. First time that has happened in a very long time.
6. I am very comfortable continuing and expect it to take perhaps a full year to lose all of my weight. I am committed to continuing until the last pound is gone and I can maintain the weight loss.
I started a group where I'm posting articles and video links for anyone that might be interested the group name is "Intermittent Fasting | Eat Stop Eat"
